“The nature of work continues to evolve, and the talent gap continues to widen,” said Ligia Zamora, Chief Marketing Officer at Eightfold AI. “HR leaders are responding to today’s challenges by embracing technology, specifically AI, and bringing initiatives that were planned for the next several years into their current scope.
